§ 9250 Corporate Investment Management Standards

• •The people in charge of a company must be careful and smart when handling the company's money and investments.
• •They must follow rules that say they should act responsibly, like how a careful person would with their own money.
• •If they follow another set of rules called the 'Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act', they are doing it right.

Imagine you are on the board of a small company that makes toys. The company has some extra money to invest.

You and the other board members must be very careful with that money. You can't just gamble it away on risky stuff. You have to invest it wisely, like putting some in safe places and some in things that might grow. If you follow the rules for managing money carefully, you're doing your job right.
